Vandalizing classic arcade games should carry a stronger penalty, what a tragedy

I never understand that graffiti. Like who the fuck is gonna read that and think "Aw wow, Spitz tagged here too? That's so cool!" It's like those assholes who rev their motorcycles and think they're hot shit

Tagging the screens is absolutely fucked up.

Is he on the hook for the replacements/repairs or is he being let off with an "I'm sowwy"?

He was arrested and charged afaik

these are vintage cabinets, its potentially hundreds of dollars per machine for replacement parts if they cant clean the tags off. They are not happy about it as they put a lot of care into their restorations

Yeah those things are not cheap. My local comic shop is renting out six and all of them have a price tag of 1500 to 3000 depending on the game.

I could be totally wrong about this, but do I recall correctly that Boeberts kid went on his alleged crime spree wearing merch from her former restaurant? The one that closed after all the food poisoning?

I am a former PD, and it is really impossible to overstate how dumb many people who commit criminal acts are.

Also: I love old arcade games.

Was the tagging meant to make it look like a certain type of person is responsible?

Or was this brewery owner tagging it like he's from the Steelport Saints?

He said he was drunk and in a bad headspace or something, but more people have been posting that theyve seen his tag all over town including another arcade so its not like this was a one time thing

also his brewery had just launched a weekly pinball league or something so its possible he was trying to sabotage a competitor?

the place leasing the pinball machines to his brewery pulled the machines out immediately

Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig.

People are really piling on this guy on Reddit and Facebook etc. He just announced the brewery taproom is going to be closed until some time in April. Its almost making me feel bad for him >_>

meanwhile people continue posting pictures of all the other locations around town hes written his dumb tag on. Clearly thats the behavior of someone with some weird issues

He probably did that cause he's heard the phrase "There's no such thing as bad publicity" once too often.
